Great news for Freddy. That boy is going to have a heart attack by the time he is 30 though... Bar none, he is always running, running, and running without ever slowing down...

Dennis, I presume Freddy is still on loan from his club and not on an MLS contract? Do you know the specifics?
Galavision (Spanish language, basic DirecTV) is showing the Tournament. I can't find a schedule, but maybe the Guats will be on sometime.
My understanding is that it was a split contract. MLS owns the majority but they have to give Comunicaciones part of the transfer fee (if he transfers somewhere else). And he gets to play in Guatemala with his old team in the off-season. I'm not sure if he did or not during this off-season as it seems he spent most of the time with the Nats.
As for Garcia's national teammate, it appears Little Fish has trouble making his child support payments (Galaxy forward in dispute with ex-wife)
